Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file
Chapter 1091 Even He Can't Protect Himself
"Commander Zhou has already taken away the prisoners from the Three Kingdoms. There's no problem with taking away the prisoners, but what about the construction team? If I remember correctly, I am the highest-ranking commander of the Eastern Xuan Kingdom's military in the Three Caves region, right?" Qin Tian's words were questioning, but his tone was relatively calm.
"The higher-ups believe that since the Three Kingdoms withdrew their troops this time, the Eastern Xuan Kingdom should also make a corresponding response in order to gain a foothold in international public opinion," Gao Shiwei said thoughtfully.
"Since they're withdrawing their troops, we can just continue building the road as planned," Qin Tian retorted casually.
In reality, Qin Tian knew the truth but pretended not to. The Sanya Kingdom had been aggressive before his arrival, but after several clashes, they hastily withdrew, clearly indicating they had a backup plan, and might even have used firearms.
"The military of Dongxuan Kingdom must consider the safety of the engineering team," Gao Shiwei stated bluntly.
"I will also consider it, but the National Sharp Blade Squadron will not yield an inch of land, provided that the construction team's safety is ensured! What is ours will be ours, and international opinion cannot sway us," Qin Tian said calmly. His simple words carried great weight.
Gao Shiwei fell silent. He too was hesitant and struggling internally, but no matter how he thought about it, this operation was far too risky. Yet, he couldn't directly order Qin Tian to retreat, since Qin Tian was now of great significance to the Eastern Xuan Kingdom, and even the military couldn't force him.
“In that case, the safety of the construction team is in your hands.” After arguing for a while, Gao Shiwei finally said helplessly.
In his view, Qin Tian's actions were too dangerous. If the enemy's attack involved a large number of people, not only would the construction team be in danger, but even the National Sharp Blade Squadron itself would be hard-pressed to protect itself.
"Thank you for your trust," Qin Tian replied.
“I will help you withstand the pressure from the military. Besides, the military’s order was only a veiled one to withdraw the National Sharp Blade Squadron. After all, you are the highest-ranking person in charge of the Sandong area.” In the end, Gao Shiwei still chose to support Qin Tian.
According to the military's original plan, the reorganized regiment was to withdraw from the Sandong area, but at Gao Shiwei's insistence, the reorganized regiment remained on the edge of the Sandong area. If the National Sharp Blade Squadron's firepower was insufficient, they had to provide support immediately.
In the end, Zhou Xinfei took nine prisoners from the Sanya Kingdom from the land operations team's camp, and the matter of the construction team was no longer mentioned.
At 2 a.m., the entire land operations team stood guard outside the construction site.
Inside the camp, Ku Houxin's flying mount suddenly stopped spinning.
Two kilometers away, a small team of nearly forty people, under the cover of darkness, quickly approached the construction team.
The squad of over thirty men were all dressed in black, exuding a menacing aura.
Their weapons were all submachine guns, and they were the most advanced models in the world.
The Short Sword submachine gun is a newly designed and developed weapon with significantly reduced recoil when firing, resulting in immense firepower and the ability to fire continuously while maintaining accuracy.
Qin Tian walked out of the camp and then shouted into the microphone to the west of the construction team: "National Sharp Blade Squadron and Land Action Team members, assemble."
Less than a minute later, the seven people stood in front of Qin Tian again.
“On the west side of the high slope, at the eight o’clock position, less than two kilometers away, a small team of nearly forty people is rushing towards us.”
“These people are fully armed, so this time we don’t need to stick to the principle of not firing first.”
As Qin Tian spoke, everyone's expressions turned serious, but their hearts were filled with excitement.
In the past few days, they have encountered many soldiers from the Three Kingdoms and have wanted to pull the trigger countless times, but in the end they have restrained themselves.
This time the situation is different. Since the other party is going to take action, they no longer need to leave any survivors.
The group of more than 30 people acted in batches, basically in pairs, with each team operating independently while also looking out for one another.
The attack and cover were arranged very well, and the division of labor was clear.
Qin Tian observed carefully and found that although these people had advanced weapons and cooperated well, there was always a sense of thuggishness behind their murderous aura, like a group of military hooligans.
The Land Operations Team, a highly trained special forces unit, is completely different from them.
In the darkness, gleaming throwing knives streaked across the night sky like meteors, and an unknown firefight began on the desolate border.
At this moment, Qin Tian fired a splitting throwing knife, which was the signal for the engagement. The two men charging in front fell to the ground.
Clearly, the nearby soldiers were stunned after the two men fell.
With just a small movement, Qin Tian sensed the chilling aura emanating from these men, perhaps stemming from their experience crawling through piles of corpses. Their seamless teamwork indicated an excellent commander directing the operation. They weren't the special forces from the Three Kingdoms!
This small team of over thirty people seemed intimidating, but in reality, they crumbled at the first touch, which disappointed Qin Tian.
Of course, despite his disappointment, Qin Tian was still very curious about the true identities of these people. After all, they were well-equipped. If they were from the Kingdom of Sanya, wouldn't capturing them as prisoners put the Kingdom of Sanya in a passive position?
On the border between Dongxuan Kingdom and Sanya Kingdom, west of the border line, a small team of nearly a hundred people lay in ambush in the grass.
Commander Moksa, upon learning that his assigned squad had been routed, excitedly said to the Para Commando squad leader beside him, "The plan worked! Today, let's show these Dongxuan soldiers what the Para Commando is all about!" Cordes, as the Para Commando squad leader, was lying motionless on the ground at that moment.
He carefully raised his head and then threw away the weeds on his helmet.
He was very dissatisfied with the commander of the border region of the Three Kingdoms. Although he had made the plan, it had to be approved by Moksa. Moksa actually wanted to come along for such a dangerous operation.
This means he'll have to send people to protect Moksa. Is this burden treating this place like a stage?
Kodes ignored Moxar and said to himself, "Don't move around or interfere with my command of the squad."
Cordes was very confident about the plan to capture the enemy special forces team. He had sensed that the enemy was not simple after the repeated failures of the teams sent by the Three Kingdoms; several teams had returned without even gathering intelligence.
Most importantly, the whereabouts of their nine-person team are unknown, which undoubtedly puts the Sanya government in a passive position. This operation is the key to breaking the passive situation.
Cordes was always cautious and never underestimated any opponent, especially not one he was facing. He knew perfectly well the strength of the missing nine-man squad.
In his view, capturing the enemy's special forces team this time was a sure thing. At the border, with a low gunshot, He Chenguang excitedly put down his sniper rifle. Although he had been shooting at targets most of the time these days, today, with real "targets," the feel was still quite good.
Afterwards, Qin Tian tallied the results: "The black-uniformed squad consisted of 38 people, of whom 21 were killed, 5 were seriously injured, and 12 were slightly injured."
Qin Tian nodded slightly, feeling somewhat fortunate that at least a dozen or so people were still alive, and none of the other side had escaped across the border.
This squad in black uniforms was in complete disarray during their escape, making them far from being a special forces unit. They were even inferior to the regular army of the Three Kingdoms, only slightly better equipped.
The mission was completed exceptionally smoothly, but unfortunately, the cross-border operation plan had to be shelved. From beginning to end, Qin Tian had focused most of his attention on the construction team, fearing that they might be used as a diversionary tactic.
Just as Qin Tian was about to have his team bring back the prisoners, Tianyan reported an anomaly two kilometers away.
"Ye Cunxin, bring out the computer," Qin Tian said calmly.
The members of the land operations team looked puzzled. Wasn't the pursuit over? Why did their captain seem to have something to do now?
Soon, Ye Cunxin took out a miniature computer from behind her.
Under Qin Tian's skillful operation, a boundary map was displayed on the seven-inch screen. The satellite map not only showed the team's current location, but also clearly showed the terrain on the west side of the border.
Qin Tian lightly tapped an area with his finger and said calmly, "There's an ambush in this jungle two kilometers away from us."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. Satellite maps showed it was indeed a jungle, but what purpose could the Three Kingdoms serve by ambushing their troops so far away?
But Qin Tian knew very well that the other party wanted to lure him over after he chased them, and then surround the entire team.
The "catching a turtle in a jar" tactic was cleverly employed, but unfortunately, they overestimated the black-uniformed squad. In the ensuing battle, the squad crumbled at the first contact, proving they were simply not in the same league.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. The enemy commander isn't even willing to send out a decent team, yet he thinks he can deal with the land operations team? It's a joke.
"You have one minute to prepare. We're about to begin our cross-border operation." Qin Tian finished speaking, his eyes fixed on the map. The satellite map gradually blurred, but a flanking route became increasingly clear.
Meanwhile, the land operations team members were still reeling from the shock. Cross-border operations? The risks were too great! With them gone, the construction team would be completely unprotected, without a single soldier. Could such a construction team really be safe?
Everyone was filled with questions, but Qin Tian presented a battle plan.
"The team will be divided into three teams. Xu Tianlong, Li Erniu, and Zhuang Yan will be in one team, responsible for the charge; Song Kaifei, He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, and Ye Cunxin will be in the other team."
As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, everyone looked up and asked in unison, "And what about you, Captain?"
“I will form my own team and be responsible for drawing fire from inside. Take a look at the route map. Ye Cunxin will be in charge of temporary command, but you need to adapt to the situation after the gunfire starts.”
Then, Qin Tian drew three routes on the map.
The illegal border crossings by the Sanya Kingdom's troops are not a one-off incident, but countless times. Initially, it involved unarmed soldiers crossing the border, but later it involved special forces teams carrying firearms and explosives.
When they first illegally crossed the border, they should have thought that our soldiers would also cross the border to fight.
Qin Tian had always kept in mind the illegal border crossing by the Sanya Kingdom's troops. Now that he had the hostages as leverage, he was even more reckless and had been looking for an opportunity to cross the border and annihilate the enemy. He never expected the opportunity to come so quickly.
There's a reason why Qin Tian was so confident and led his entire team away from the construction site.
The Three Kingdoms have already withdrawn their regular troops, so there won't be many ambushes left. He can easily outflank and attack them without worry. Besides, if anyone from the enemy comes, how could they escape his all-seeing eyes and senses?
Upon entering the territory of the Three Kingdoms, the members of the Sharp Blade of the Nation were all terrified, barely daring to breathe. Of course, they weren't cowardly; they were simply worried about Qin Tian.
Qin Tian explained the battle plan in detail, and everyone naturally agreed. However, the black-uniformed squad they had just encountered numbered nearly forty, and the enemy's ambush force in the jungle was definitely far larger than that. Moreover, these men were all highly skilled, clearly the enemy's elite special forces.
When the two seven-man squads of the land operations team arrived at the location designated by Qin Tian, half an hour had passed since the black-uniformed squad had been routed.
Meanwhile, in the jungles of the Three Kingdoms, west of the border between the two countries, three plumes of white smoke slowly rose from the center of the jungle. Cordes, the squad leader of the Para Commando Team, was filled with doubt.
So much time has passed, why is there still no movement from ahead? Could it be that the squad made up of death row inmates has been wiped out?
Moksa, the border region commander standing nearby, couldn't sit still any longer; those death row inmates were indeed unreliable.
They all looked fierce and menacing, but they couldn't even complete a simple task.
That's right, the black-uniformed squad were death row inmates recruited from a prison in a neighboring country of Sanya. Moxar paid a hefty price to get them here.
Using death row inmates in combat naturally has its "advantages".
Although these guys haven't received long-term formal training, they're just bait here. If these baits are captured alive by our soldiers, the Sanya government won't be able to use these prisoners of war against us internationally.
Conversely, if the Para Commando of the Three Kingdoms captures the Land Operations Team, our government will be in a passive position.
Based on the reactions of the land operations team over the past few days, Cordes judged that the enemy commander must be a rather arrogant person. The fact that his own nine-man squad was missing further indicated that the enemy possessed comparable or even stronger strength.
There is no doubt that the enemy will come.
At this moment, both inside and outside the jungle were ambushers deployed by Cordes. These ambushers formed a circle in the jungle, but after waiting for so long, there was still no movement outside the jungle. Just as Cordes got up to make a move, he suddenly turned around and was so startled that he almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, before Cordes' eyes, white smoke billowed out, much like the morning mist, even thicker than it. But why did this morning mist arrive so early?
You know, ordinary smoke grenades can't be colorless and odorless unless they are specially made enhanced versions. Otherwise, how could everyone not detect a single strange smell?
Full of doubt, Cordes instantly realized that the cloud of smoke was most likely a special smoke grenade from the enemy.
Amidst the smoke, figures appeared and disappeared, flickering incessantly.
Cordes reacted extremely quickly; with his rich combat experience and keen fighting spirit, he rolled several times almost simultaneously. (End of Chapter)
